Re: (ET) Noisy Transmission/Mower deck poll

["Pieter Litchfield" <plitch NOSPAMattglobal net>]

I had a noisy transmission, but found it easier to buy a better used one
than rebuild.  Oil level is critical - it sould be filled to the top - this
involves rotating the removed transmission so that the filler plug is 
facing
up to fill it!

On your poll, I prefer a rear dischange mower because I drag a lawn sweeper
behind to pick up clippings, and this makes for a more-or-less one pass
operation.
